Gonna get 650b to drop weight

I thought 650 wheels end up weighing more because whilst the rims and spokes are a little lighter, chonky rubber weighs loads.

A 47mm in 650b is 510g.

A 42mm in 700c is 520g.

(Teravail Rampart).

How much does a 700cx28 weigh because that is a more similar diameter to 650bx47. Otherwise just get a smaller frame cos they weigh less too ;-)

If we're keepnig the same outer diameter then a fairer comparison is:

650b 53mm "Sparwood" 615g
700c 35mm "Cannonball" 430g
